Castle Game: Taisho Roman Revolution

[idolpro]

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?


(Rules & questions are here. Cleo is your gamerunner!)

But what just happened with Pep... this... they're going to definitely die at this rate. Is it even possible for them to make things up?

[ It's the one unit she cares the absolutely most about outside of their own... ]

[bloodyrose]

Depends if anyone will gift them this time. They'll otherwise need to steal.

[He gets this concern.]

[sunflowering]

Nova-chan, Wednesday-chan, and Cobalt...

[bloodyrose]

We just need to keep it together.

[sunflowering]

Mm. Of course...

[bloodyrose]

[He just settles a hand atop her head. A hopefully comforting gesture, as she's done numerous times to him.]

[syncintohell]

I would suspect not. The dearth of points they have indicates they gifted everything. If they get more points, I suspect they will only continue to gift them away. It looks as though they have chosen to save others, at the cost of themselves.

[sunflowering]

[Swallowing thickly, hands clenching.]

Those... stupid idiots.

[syncintohell]

[ he stands from where he was pouring over the map, to put a hand on Kaguya's shoulder ]

What they have chosen to do is foolish, but honorable in it's own right. There are lives they value beyond their own, and they have placed all their hopes upon another's survival. I cannot begrudge them that.

[sunflowering]

[Swallowingly thickly she scrubs at her eyes, trying to brush away the evidence of tears. She has to be strong. She has to.]

Then... what do we do next?

[syncintohell]

We choose who to steal from. Which units are most likely to receive gifts this round, so we may be lucky enough to have no need for theft in the final one.

[sunflowering]

Then Baritones... most likely, right? Who else?

[syncintohell]

Lilis. Their points pool is low, but not so low as to be overlooked, the way Pep!Pep! is.

[sunflowering]

Although it's a little sad to steal from a unit that is already so low...
